Nice things people have said about Ed

I’ve been working with Ed for the past year on both content design & delivery for an internal training program. Feedback from our participants (across several offices) has been consistently positive and all have commended Ed as a really great facilitator/instructor. Ed has a vast array of experience & a great sense of humor which gives him a great style & ability to explain things in a simple yet entertaining way. He’s been described by program attendees as ‘incredibly effective at encouraging discussion, great energy, knowledge and ability to engage an audience’. From a program management perspective, Ed is a delight to work with – extremely versatile, detail oriented and passionate about his area of expertise. I would absolutely recommend working with him.

I’ve worked with Ed over the last 4 years on a number of various projects. Most recently Ed ran a 2 day course for my sales team on flexible and creative thinking that the team have truly embraced and implemented in their day to day working. Ed has also run similar sessions at our last 2 company meetings, and it came as no surprise to me that they were rated the highest and fully subscribed.

I have also had the opportunity to see Ed not just in this training light, but actually helping to create strong brand propositions through working closely with EU brand teams to develop brand essence, positioning statements and brand values.

Ed is great to work with and has a wealth of experience to refer to when either delivering training sessions to wider teams or working specifically on developing a brand story and I would highly recommend that anyone in a commercial role looking for this type of support to work with him.

If you are looking for someone to go to for those “white space” problems, where you need a really deep insight, or someone to help figure out and gracefully and clearly articulate the crux of a problem or idea, Ed is your man. I have worked with Ed for years now and he has a great ability to quickly get to the real core of what is going in and then in a very engaging and uniquely creative yet pragmatic style, bring it to life. Ed has helped me with everything from developing and articulating a strategy for our pain medicines business, herd the cats of various regional leads and get them marching in the same direction, create core essence and positioning for several of our medicines based on deep insight and as well helped me design the most engaging and energising internal events I have had the pleasure of holding for our worldwide sales and marketing organisations. Thank you Ed, I don’t know what I would do without knowing I can turn to you when I need to.

I have worked with Ed as my account Director at Whatif, to drive an innovation process in my team of 25 project managers in Novo Nordisk to increase the innovation level in clinical trials, within the cardiovascular area. My experience is that Ed has both a very good understanding of my situation as a pharmaceutical company as well as a holistic understanding of which of the innovation tools available make sense to implement with my team . He very quickly understood our challenges and put a training program in place for the team as well as a follow up programme for each project manager to implement the tools in their projects. Overall in a relatively short time (3-4 months) we have now embedded a structured innovation process which has significantly increased the creativity level while doing it in a shorter time then normal. As person Ed is very pleasant to work with and very responsive at the same time. Overall I have been very satisfied with working with Ed

Clinical Medical and Regulatory Director, Novo Nordisk

I have worked with Ed multiple times and across different industries. He is hands down one of the best facilitators I have ever worked with. Not only is he a complete expert in innovation and creativity, he is engaging, inspiring, funny and business savvy. I would highly recommend Ed to anyone looking to build innovation/creative capabilities in their organisations: with senior colleagues, cross functional teams or multi layered groups. Due to his vast experience, and depth of knowledge Ed adds value to your business by bringing his expertise in, and helping you apply it to your own products or services. Ed asks great questions to understand the context and requirements in order to offer a bespoke and business aligned input. I know Ed’s contributions have helped participants because I hear the learning in their language and see the tools being applied in our context.
